Thank you for answering! Yeah, in the end I was primarily messing around a bit with the stuff available, basically.
Let's see if I can answer a few of those things, so it makes sense. ^^
1. The article definitely needs to be tidied up, I was a little lost at what to do about that problem. While I developed this SCP, it changed, so the reason for the crossed out stuff is, that the former containment procedures don't apply anymore. (just as an example) I thought about completely deleting this and run with the new idea, and completely rewrite this.
2. That slipped me, I know that rule. Gotta look at it and correct it.
3. Like I already said, I wanted to mess around primarily to see where the line is that I shall not cross. That's where it gets messy the most honestly. Just from a purely logical point of view, that should have been crossed out aswell. :D
4. The censoring in containment happened, because the old containment procedures don't apply anymore. Furthermore only three O5 are allowed to know about this SCP's exact location.
5. Will try to remember that
6. Well, yeah. I usually have that problem, not knowing what's on the readers mind while reading this. I know what's in the boxes, guess that didn't help.
Is there anything that you specifically cringed at? Language wise I mean.
It is basically a form of Cordyceps, that doesn't cause a shroom like growth in your body, but rather changes your behavior by altering it directly, let it be radiowaves, radiation, or anything like that. It affects your mind directly without the need of physical infection. If you die during "infection" your remains calcify and gain the same properties as SCP-XXXX. If you touch it, this effect is enhanced. So basically your mind gets altered around it, but if you touch it, it's current form causes a physical manifestation of this altering effect. It was a scale when they found it, so touching it caused you to be utterly devastated about your weight being too high or too low. In the end you would die, as the "infection through touch" is unhealable, while meeting your psychologists for a few meetings helps getting done with your "problems" caused or enhanced by being in too close proximity to it.
EDIT: The change in personality goes hand in hand with the suicidal tendencies subjects show during infection. They go for actions that would most likely kill them. The kind of action they go for is depending on what kind of alteration happened to the infected subject.
I sincerely hope that clarifies and thank you for your critique!!
